A consultation exercise has begun over a framework for change for North Cambridge.
Cambridge City Council is asking local people to contribute to its plans to help guide investment in the area.
Older council housing estates, parks and green spaces, streets, shops and community facilities in Arbury, King’s Hedges, and Chesterton are under review in the document, North Cambridge Framework for Change.
It is designed to build on the North Cambridge Neighbourhoods Design Code which was adopted by the council in April.
Cllr Gerri Bird, executive councillor for housing, said: “This is such an exciting opportunity for local people to influence investment in their neighbourhoods right from the start. North Cambridge has strong communities and much-loved spaces, but we know there are areas that feel neglected or under pressure.
“Change can be daunting, so I would like to provide reassurance that we don’t yet have specific plans for north Cambridge.
“We think the area could benefit from some investment, but we want to work with the local community to develop a framework for change that will mean any investment we make into the area will work for existing communities.
“Please take the time to get involved. We’re asking you what you value, and what needs to change – so that we can make sure to focus investment where it’s needed most.”
Five events have been arranged in May and June and a survey will run until June 18
